A Northwood hospice is holding another round of its popular talent contest.

Staff at Michael Sobell House, a specialist palliative care unit at Mount Vernon Hospital, are hoping to build on last year’s successful contest.

The event has been rehoused at Watersmeet Theatre, in Rickmansworth and will feature singing groups, choirs, dancers, poets and comedians.

Entrants will be subjected to a panel of judges in the style of the X-Factor, on Sunday, October 3.

Michael Sobell House has been providing care for people affected with cancer and other life limiting illnesses since 1977.

The talent show is one of a number of events that seek to raise more than a £1 million a year.

Tickets are available from Watersmeet Theatre box office, by telephoning 01923 711063 or through the related link below.
